Mogic considers

2009 Mogic Trip

The company name Mogic Mogic was often mistaken when it was established, and "Mr. Magic Magic" was one thing, while "Mr. Text Assembler" and "Mr. Text Proofreader" were quite distant and sometimes referred to as "Mr. Text Assembler" and "Mr. Text Proofreader".

Fortunately, I am rarely mistaken for Mogic these days, but since I no longer have the opportunity to talk about why we chose the name Mogic, I thought I would write it down here.

-----
When I created the company, I was alone, so I had to ask myself the same question to come up with a name for the company.

My first thought was that the company is people.

No matter how hard you work on IT, at the end of the day, it's people.

So I was wondering what it would be nice to think of when various people get together.

It would be perfect if I could think, "I had a good encounter here.

So what would be considered a good meeting?

It would be nice if there was a burst of laughter and something that I could not do alone appeared in front of me.

Yes, science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke said that.

He said, "Well-developed science and technology are indistinguishable from magic."

So I was inspired to do so.

I think that "the results achieved when people meet and create wonderful chemical reactions, and with the help of well-developed information technology, are indistinguishable from magic."

This may sound like a made-up story, but I really came up with the idea while soaking in the bathtub, Archimedes-style.

Let's shorten it a bit and make the base phrase "connect people, share wisdom, and accomplish magic."

Furthermore, how can we condense it down to the company name?

Yeah, if you put the two kanji characters for "person" and "human" together, it looks like an M.

Next, let's express "connect" with "◯".

Magic is Magic.

So, M + O + Magic = Mogic.

Mosic, it may sound strange, but I'm sure you'll remember me, so here goes!

-----

That was the way it went.

So it is only natural that the company's style is to "grow together and emphasize teamwork" rather than individual skills.

And the catchphrase "Creativity Beyond Imagination" that the interns gave us along the way.

This is also a match in the sense that it is a creation that goes beyond one's own imagination and overlays everyone's individuality.

We jumped out as a company in 2009 and have traveled all over the place together.

If I hear more and more "it was a good meeting" in each passing day, I will only be happy from my own perspective, floating in a starry sky far away in a bathtub.

It's a mere thing, but that's how it works.

I was so impressed by a certain cookbook author's recipes that when I read his essay, I unexpectedly felt the need to take care of my pots and pans.

We'll start with the hardest one, a little nippy little milk pan.

Roughly scrape off the outside scorch, apply coarse sandpaper, and finish by polishing with a cloth.

When I wiped with a gasp, the well-worn tool began to shine dully and moistly.

It's a strange thing, but looking at them makes me want to cook again.

The importance of keeping a proper hand on the tools because they are familiar.

This seems to me to be true in business as well.

For example, writing a very simple email.

Keyboard and mouse operation, dictionary-registered proper nouns, writing style to reduce misunderstandings as much as possible, clarification of subject/verb/object, how to avoid copy/paste errors, flow to minimize back and forth emails, presenting options that are easy for the recipient to choose, separators to include for easy viewing, distribution of abstract words and proper nouns, when to send a message that is easy for the recipient to return, and when to send a file with security in mind. When to send, self-checking before sending, consideration of the possibility of the email going into a spam folder, and security-conscious file exchanges.

If you polish them one by one, you can use them as you wish.

It's just an email, it's just an email, so an email, and there is nothing wrong with reviewing it.

Processes that are not the best

It would be nice if we could always follow the best process, but that is not always possible.

If you think that the best is rather less than the best, it will change the way you train on a daily basis.

In creating an IT service, a project is launched.

Gather members, calculate money, come up with ideas, research the market, set a schedule, motivate, summarize requirements, draw designs, code, build infrastructure, design the system, write programs, pour in data, test, fix bugs, and then put together a press release, Put together a press release, get it out to the media, and then users start using it.

It would be rare for it to be easy to write and go through this number of steps.

In addition, members have different skills, different ways of communicating, different areas of expertise, different experiences, different workloads, different environments they have lived in, different values they emphasize, different ages and genders, and different things they enjoy.

Needless to say, it is more normal to be discrete.

Then, imagine what the "not-so-best" process would look like, which should be the norm.

With a little thought, we can see that it is rather more difficult to do so.

After all, the number of branching patterns is enormous, and the thinking does not proceed from there.

But if you do, you will not be able to train because you will not be able to envision the not-so-best process itself.

It means that even if you want to develop the ability to deal with a not-so-best process in order to achieve the best process, you cannot envision the not-so-best process itself.

How should this dilemma be overcome?

One solution would be to minimize blurring by standardizing the selection of people's skills and experience in advance and applying common rules to the process in the first place.

However, I think the important training will be to share the sensitivity that there really is no best process, and the time it takes for the whole team to stop and kneel together until they are satisfied with the imperfections that rise up in front of them.

The obvious in slow motion.

Whenever I have time, I take my time and look into fields I have never heard of before, and I am amazed to hear that new measurements are being made in attoseconds, or 10 to the 18th power of a second, in the latest areas of chemistry.

loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Each time region has its own characteristic phenomena.

The lifetime of the phosphorescence produced when a substance is illuminated by light is in the microsecond (millionth of a second) range.

Similarly, the lifetime of fluorescence produced when a substance is illuminated by light is in the nanosecond (one billionth of a second) to picosecond (one trillionth of a second) range.

abbreviation

Chemical reactions involving vibrational wave packet motion of molecules and primordial recombination in molecules occur in the region of femtoseconds (fs: one thousand trillionth of a second).

In attosecond (as: one hundredth of a kilometer) time, electron dynamics can be measured faster than the time it takes for the conformational change of a molecule to occur.
oooooooooooooo

Not to speak of time units this minute, but even in daily life, what we see differs depending on the time frame set.

The scenery that flows by as you fly down the highway and the atmosphere that you can feel as you wander along the road.

The hurried commute to work and the return home where you can suddenly feel dinner being prepared.

I am both impatient to achieve it and deeply thankful for it.

So this year, I decided to take one thing for granted and try to rethink the work I took for granted in various slow-motion ways.

I even wrote that if I slowed down, I might be able to find something important that I have missed so far, and then, ah, this preface has already taken too long as a New Year's greeting.

To get back on track, this year Mogic will be celebrating its 15th anniversary with many events.

We are beginning to prepare for everyone's enjoyment.

We look forward to working with you again this year.
